If you have ever watched Entourage or understand how the film industry works, you will enjoy this video. It is particularly relevant because I just got back from a long weekend in LA.

The Oscars are this Sunday. I am calling it now, Slumdog Millionaire is going to clean up. Check out the entire list here. I’ll admit, some are dumb while others are hilarious.

As best I can tell, Snag Films has every single documentary in existence posted on their web site. The catch is that there are occasional commercial breaks added in. The first one I plan on watching (once I get to a location with a decent internet connection) is Confessions of a Superhero.

Prepare to waste about half an hour once you load this. Remember those choose your own adventure books back in the day? This is like that except it is a zombie movie. This is a very cool concept that I am surprised I haven’t seen before. I added a picture because it is that awesome.

World War was created by Vincent Chai for his final degree project whilst studying 3D Animation at the University Of Hertfordshire. You can check it out here.
If you haven’t seen this film, don’t watch this it is definitely a bit of a spoiler.
750,000 television spots, 5,000 movie trailers, 1 voice, Don LaFontaine has the most recognizable voice in the game right now. Here is the legend’s story told by none other than the legend himself.
R.I.P. Don LaFontaine (1940-2008)
If you haven’t seen Tropic Thunder yet, immediately go check it out. The studio also made this spoof documentary which is now available for free online. It looks pretty funny, but I haven’t finished the download.
I think this was nominated for an Oscar, but I don’t have time to look it up.
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.
